Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SerialConnection()

microstrain::connections::SerialConnection::SerialConnection	(	std::string	portName,
		uint32_t	baudrate
	)

Creates a Serial Connection that will communicate with a device over serial.

Parameters

portName	Path to the port to connect to. On Windows, this usually looks like "COM<N>", on linux, "/dev/tty<N>"
baudrate	Baud rate to open the device at. Note that the device needs to be configured to

~SerialConnection()

microstrain::connections::SerialConnection::~SerialConnection

(

)

Closes the underlying serial port.

Member Function Documentation

connect()

bool microstrain::connections::SerialConnection::connect ( )

overridevirtual

Connect to the port.

Implements microstrain::Connection.

connectionInfo()

void microstrain::connections::SerialConnection::connectionInfo ( std::string &  name, uint32_t &  baudrate  ) const

inline

disconnect()

bool microstrain::connections::SerialConnection::disconnect ( )

overridevirtual

Disconnect from the port.

Implements microstrain::Connection.

interfaceName()

recvFromDevice()

bool microstrain::connections::SerialConnection::recvFromDevice ( uint8_t *  buffer, size_t  max_length, unsigned int  wait_time_ms, size_t *  length_out, EmbeddedTimestamp *  timestamp_out  )

finalvirtual

Receives bytes from the device.

Parameters

buffer	Buffer to store the received data in
max_length	Max number of bytes that can be read. Should be at most the length of buffer.
wait_time_ms	Time to wait for data in milliseconds.
length_out	Number of bytes actually read.
timestamp_out	Timestamp of when the data was received

Implements microstrain::Connection.

sendToDevice()

bool microstrain::connections::SerialConnection::sendToDevice ( const uint8_t *  data, size_t  length  )

finalvirtual

Sends bytes to the device.

Parameters

data	The data to send to the device
length	Length of data in bytes

Implements microstrain::Connection.
